As we move further into 2022, the world of web application testing is changing. We are seeing new challenges and opportunities as businesses become more reliant on online applications. In this blog post, we will discuss the latest trends in web application testing and how you can prepare your business for the future.
At the beginning of August, CREST partnered with OWASP to release the OWASP Verification Standard (OVS), which is designed to formalise and expand on OWASP’s existing work on application security and their own security standards, including their Top 10 Project. OWASP has existed since December 2001 and has been supporting penetration testers and developers alike ever since with tens of thousands of participants.
Following on from the previous article we posted regarding cyber security trends, we thought we’d revisit the topic and continue with another set to keep an eye on. The world of cyber security is always evolving and there’s always too much for just one article on the subject.
In a recent article looking at cyber security trends, we highlighted the potential for incidents to occur from supply chain attacks, as well as the prevalence of ransomware across the Internet. No organisation is safe from attack, as illustrated by the NHS 111 attack at the beginning of the month.
A cyber attack can happen to businesses of any size or structure. In order to protect your data and your systems, it is important to have a plan in place. This means having protocols in place for dealing with a cyber threat, and making sure all of your employees are aware of the plan and know what to do if an attack occurs. In this blog post, we will discuss the importance of incident response planning and how you can secure a structure that is right for your business.
Cyber attacks are on the rise, and they show no signs of slowing down. In fact, many experts believe that we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg when it comes to cybercrime. As businesses continue to move their operations online, they become increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. In this blog post, we will take a look at the five most dangerous cyberattacks in history. These attacks have caused billions of dollars in damage and affected millions.
As we pass the halfway point of 2022, it’s worth taking a look at the current trends which have been present within the cyber security world and what to look out for in the future. Being aware of trends allows organisations to plan for the future and put processes or defences in place before they’re required.
Almost every business needs modern technology to stay competitive in their industry. This can even include housing proprietary company information and procedures on cloud platforms. Despite the business advantages digital transformation offers, it also opens up new risks you need to effectively manage. One risk that needs to be managed is the threat of a ransomware attack.
Ransomware's ascent from a minor crime to a multi-billion-dollar industry shows the seriousness of the danger to corporations. But even though Ransomware has been making the news regularly for the past five years, it is not new to hold user data or systems hostage and then demand a payment to get them back. This article will look at the evolution of ransomware, from its first known attack in 1989 to the vicious threat it has become in the present.
OWASP Top Ten: Insecure Design A new addition to the OWASP Top Ten, Insecure design is one of the leading causes of data breaches today. By understanding and avoiding these patterns, you can make your Web Applications more secure. In this blog post, we will give you a brief overview of Insecure Design and provide tips on how to avoid this vulnerability in your own applications.
